The US Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen Program has issued a Request for Information (RFI) on potential early markets and deployment opportunities for hydrogen and fuel cells. DOE is seeking to facilitate the market penetration of hydrogen and fuel cell products through higher volume purchases (e.g., Market development RFI.

US Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced an agreement with the FutureGen Alliance that advances the construction of the FutureGen plant: a 275 MW prototype that would co-produce electricity and hydrogen from coal with essentially zero emissions, including carbon dioxide emissions, which would be captured and sequestered.

These include both hydrogenated renewable diesels and fuels produced via the Fischer–Tropsch process. The challenge that lies before us is to develop and commercialize biofuels in a practicable way that will significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, improve our energy security, and genuinely make our country cleaner and greener.

The global economic crisis 2007/2008 only temporarily reduced emissions. Increased use of coal relative to other energy sources has reversed the long?standing Hydrogen fuels from low?carbon Commercially available liquid and gaseous biofuels already provide co?benefits GtCO 2 eq (1.3%) per year from 1970 to 2000.

Because of the lower carbon/hydrogen ratio of methane (CH 4 ) relative to gasoline, CO 2 emissions from the combustion of natural gas are approximately 75% of those of gasoline for a given amount of energy production. They also emit less CO 2 per km than EVs in China, because of heavy reliance there on coal to produce electricity.

I suspect that the correct plug will be of a twist-lock design as is typical of many higher voltage and amperage plugs used in commercial service and for industrial equipment. Perhaps you should have checked that before posting. as stated. 5 Clayton B. Cornell said on April 20th, 2009 at 4:43 am Emily, thanks for spell checking for us.

The LTA-SOFC was able to convert the biodiesel to electricity at commercially viable power densities, i.e., greater than 100 mW cm -2. Oxygen ions are extracted at the cathode and pass through the electrolyte to the anode (fuel) side where they combine with hydrogen or carbon monoxide from the fuel to form water or carbon dioxide.

The electric grid is the most advanced energy-distribution network ever created and is constantly only a few feet away from us (far more ubiquitous than gas/ethanol/hydrogen stations). Electric engines are emissions free (and quiet).

Ive found it facinating how car commercials changed the main MPG number they promoted before gas went over $4 a gallon as city miles. Volt like hybrids are the intermediate future between hydrogen or fast charging electric cars. It is 12 years later. The management at GM are liars. Now all you hear is highway miles.
